NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-XS-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report on Form 10-K10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017. 2018. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2018 2019 are not indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018.
Certain reclassifications within the condensed financial statement captions have been made to maintain consistency in presentation between years. These reclassifications have no impact on the reported results of operations. Financial amounts are in thousands of dollars except per share amounts.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (???FASB???) issued Accounting Standards Update (???ASU???) No.2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that reporting period and early adoption permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and will provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The provisions of this new guidance are effective as of the beginning of the Company???s first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method to be used and the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)842), in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-022016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-022016-02 requires expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Certain reclassifications within the condensed financial statement captions have been made to maintain consistency in presentation between years. These reclassifications have no impact on the reported results of operations. Financial amounts are in thousands of dollars except per share amounts.
2. Net Income Per Share: Butler National Corporation ("(“the Company???Company”) follows ASC 260 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net earnings per share are excluded. The number of potential common shares as of January 31, 2018 2019 is 63,998,885.
64,050,508.
3. Revenue Recognition: Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
On May 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of May 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after May 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. There was no adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit on May 1, 2018 due to the impact of adopting Topic 606.
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:
1) | Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer |
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.
2) | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
At contract inception, an entity shall assess the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and shall identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
3) | Determination of the transaction price |
The transaction price is the amount that an entity allocates to the performance obligations identified in the contract and, therefore, represents the amount of revenue recognized as those performance obligations are satisfied. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer.
4) | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
Once a contract and associated performance obligations have been identified and the transaction price has been determined, ASC 606 requires an entity to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation identified. This is generally done in proportion to the standalone selling prices of each performance obligation (i.e., on a relative standalone selling price basis). As a result, any discount within the contract generally is allocated proportionally to all the separate performance obligations in the contract. The Company is applying the right to invoice practical expedient to recognize revenue. As a result, the entity bypasses the steps of determining the transaction price, allocating that transaction price and determining when to recognize revenue as it will recognize revenue as billed by multiplying the price assigned to the good or service, by the units.
5) | Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation |
Revenue is recognized when or as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. Control transfers either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
Aircraft modifications are performed under fixed-price contracts. Revenue from fixed-priced contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the direct labor incurred compared to total estimated direct labor.
Revenue from Avionics products are recognized when shipped. Payment for these Avionics products is due within 30 days of the invoice date after shipment. Revenue from Gaming Management and other Corporate/Professional Services is recognized as the service is rendered.
Regarding warranties and returns, our products are special order and are not suitable for return. Our products are unique upon installation and tested prior to their release to the customer and acceptance by the customer. In the rare event of a warranty claim, the claim is processed through the normal course of business and may include additional charges to the customer. In our opinion, any future warranty work would not be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Gaming revenue is the gross gaming win as reported by the Kansas Lottery casino reporting systems, less the mandated payments by and for the State of Kansas. Electronic games-slots and table games revenue is the aggregate of gaming wins and losses. Liabilities are recognized for chips and "ticket-in, ticket-out" coupons in the customers' possession, and for accruals related to anticipated payout of progressive jackpots. Progressive gaming machines, which contain base jackpots that increase at a progressive rate based on the number of coins played, are deducted from revenue as the value of jackpots increase. Food, beverage, and other revenue is recorded when the service is received and paid.
4. Inventories: Inventories are priced at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-outfirst-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead required in the production of our products.
Inventory obsolescence is examined on a regular basis. When determining our estimate of obsolescence, we consider inventory that has been inactive for five years or longer and the probability of using that inventory in future production. The obsolete inventory generally consists of Falcon and Learjet parts and electrical components. At January 31, 2018 2019 and April 30, 2017, 2018, the estimate of obsolete inventory was $1,177$571 and $1,177$571 respectively.

On December 29, 2017, BHCMC, received a ruling from the Kansas Supreme Court in the Matter of the Appeal of BHCMC, LLC d/b/a Boot Hill Casino & Resort, concerning the request for refund for sales/use taxes paid for slot machines owned by the Kansas Lottery. The Kansas Department of Revenue appealed from a Board of Tax Appeals summary decision granting a compensating use tax refund to BHCMC. The Kansas Supreme Court addressed “whether such a tax can be imposed on Boot Hill (BHCMC) for electronic gaming machines it does not—and, under the law and its management agreement with Kansas Lottery, cannot—own”. The Court ruled that “Boot Hill did not exercise a right or power incident to ownership of personal property in order to be subject to a compensating use tax for that property.” Because BHCMC has not exercised such a power or right, the Court affirmed Board of Tax Appeals' refund decision and the ruling of the Kansas Court of Appeals panel decision. Management makes no assurances related to collection of, or the timeliness of, any actions realizing any direct monetary effects, if any, of the ruling. Therefore, the Company’s accounting of these sales/use tax refunds will be recognized as other income when payment is received from the State of Kansas.
For the nine months ended January 31, 2019, $2.0 million was reported as a refund of sales/use tax, including $385 in the three months ended January 31, 2019, in the consolidated statement of operations in connection with the above ruling.

Professional Services. The Professional Services segment includes the management of gaming facilities and related dining and entertainment facilities in Kansas and Oklahoma. We currently manage a gaming and entertainment facility. Boot Hill Casino and Resort features approximately 640 slot machines and 20 table games. Companies in Professional Services also provide licensed architectural services, including commercial and industrial building design, and engineering services.
Boot Hill. BNSC, via BHCMC, LLC (“BHCMC”), a company in Professional Services, derives its revenue from (a) professional management serviceshas managed The Boot Hill Casino and Resort in Dodge City, Kansas (“Boot Hill”) since 2009 pursuant to the Lottery Gaming Facility Management Contract, by and among BNSC, BHCMC and the Kansas Lottery, originally dated December 8, 2009, as subsequently amended (“Boot Hill Agreement”). As required by Kansas law, all games, gaming industry throughequipment and gaming operations at Boot Hill are owned and operated by the Kansas Lottery.
The Stables. Since 1998, Butler National Service Corporation, ("BNSC")a company in Professional Services and BHCMC, LLC ("BHCMC"), and (b) professional architectural, engineering and management support services.
In the early 1990's, management determined that more revenue stable business units were needed to sustain the Company. Membersour wholly-owned subsidiary, has managed a Modoc Tribe of the Board of Directors had contacts with several American Indian tribes and other members of the Board were associated with gaming operators in Las Vegas. After enactment of the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act ("IGRA") we reached out to various Indian tribes with land in the area to explore the opportunities for operations under IGRA. This resulted in the "Stables", an IndianOklahoma owned casino on Modoc Indian land openedknown as The Stables Casino in September 1998 developed and managed by BNSC. Miami, Oklahoma (“The Stables”) pursuant to the Stables Management Agreement has been available on the website maintainedoriginally dated December 12, 1996 and approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission ("NIGC"). The Stables Management Agreement wasNIGC on January 14, 1997 as subsequently amended by various amendments dated April 30, 2003 (the "First Amendment"), November 30, 2006 (the "Second Amendment"), October 19, 2009 (the "Third Amendment") and September 22, 2011 (the "Fourth Amendment"“Stables Agreement”). The resultUnder the terms of the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment is to provide (a) thatStables Agreement, BNSC received twenty percent (20%) of the net profits from The Stables. The Stables are distributed to BNSC, (b) to end per the joint venture agreement the participation of the Miami Indian tribe from the business and (c) to extend the duration of the Stables Management Agreement throughexpired on September 30, 2018.2018, and was not renewed.
Architectural and Engineering Services. Companies in Professional Services provide licensed architectural, including commercial and industrial building design, and engineering services.
From this experience with IGRA and the success of the Indian gaming industry, we determined that the IGRA model may be applicable for state-owned gaming. We spent Butler National Corporation innovation, legal and market development funds to design and encourage the use of an Indian-owned gaming model in the State of Kansas. From these efforts, Kansas enacted the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act (KELA) in 2007 allowing four state-owned casinos to be developed in Kansas. In 2007, BNSC made application to manage a state-owned casino. In 2008, BNSC was awarded a fifteen year term to manage the Boot Hill Casino in Dodge City, Kansas pursuant to a Lottery Gaming Facility Management Contract (the "Boot Hill Casino Management Contract"). The Boot Hill Casino Management Contract was amended on December 29, 2009 (the "First Amendment to the Boot Hill Casino Management Contract") to bring the definition of "Fiscal Year" in line with the fiscal year of BNSC (May 1 to April 30). BHCMC was organized to be the manager of the Boot Hill Casino in Dodge City, Kansas. The casino opened in December 2009.
The terms of the agreement between the Kansas Lottery and BNSC/BHCMC required the completion of an addition to the Boot Hill Casino. The Phase II expansion of Boot Hill Casino began in early 2012 and was completed in January 2013. Phase II expansion of the unfinished gaming floor space built during Phase I construction and tenant improvements was funded by tenant improvement leases, gaming machine acquisitions, and casino earnings. The Phase II expansion included the interior finish of 15,000 square feet of casino shell and provided for up to 216 additional gaming machines. Part of the expansion included a breezeway connecting the Boot Hill Casino and the Dodge City special events center (United Wireless Arena). Boot Hill Casino now has approximately 650 gaming machines on the floor. Boot Hill Casino acquired the naming rights to the City of Dodge City and Ford County owned conference center connected to the casino through the breezeway. The conference center is known as the Boot Hill Casino and Resort Conference Center.
